Aquifer conservation

Aquifer conservation involves managing and protecting underground water sources to ensure their sustainability. Aquifers are natural underground reservoirs that store freshwater, vital for drinking water, agriculture, and industry. Over-extraction, pollution, and land development threaten these resources, leading to depletion and environmental issues. Conservation measures include using water efficiently, reducing waste, implementing regulations, and protecting recharge areas where rainwater naturally refills aquifers. Effective aquifer management helps maintain a reliable water supply, supports ecosystems, and prevents land subsidence or contamination, ensuring this essential resource remains available for future generations.
